SP Performance Cross Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors are a unique design offering the best combination of cooling and out-gassing. Unlike our competition SP Performance Cross Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors have no edge on our chamfer. With no edge, there is less stress build up, thus reducing the chance of surface checking This smooth surface also makes the rotor more pad friendly by reducing the wear of the pad caused by the friction scraping against a sharp edge.

SP Performance Cross Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors
SP Performance Cross-Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors are a unique design offering the best combination of cooling and out-gassing. In fact, our design is so unique we would like to go over some of the details. The first thing we will point out on the drilled rotor is the chamfer. Unlike our competition there is no edge on our chamfer. This is accomplished by the use of an outer radius curve rather than a countersink. With the radius curve, or Sinusoid Curve", it virtually eliminates an edge on the surface of the hole. With no edge, there is less stress build up, thus reducing the chance of surface checking. This smooth surface also makes the rotor more pad friendly by reducing the wear of the pad caused by the friction scraping against a sharp edge
Cross Drilled and Slotted Gray
SP Performance Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors With Standard Gray ZRC Finish:

All rotors are provided with our gray ZRC coating. It provides long-lasting protection against corrosion in the most hostile salt-water environments. After being applied, ZRC provides the highest level of galvanic protection. The film of ZRC is conductive. After the coating heats up during use, it bonds permanently to the metal surface. It will not allow the metal to corrode, even when the surface is scratched
Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotor Plated
SP Performance Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors With Optional Bright Silver Plating:

Electro- plating is performed on our rotors to provide a brighter finish which is more appealing to the look of the rotor. When plating a rotor, a metallurgical bond is formed between the plating and steel, forming an iron rich alloy with tenacious bond where it will form its own protective oxide layer. Electro- plating is very effective in combating the corrosion of the rotor.
SP Performance Sinusoid Curve Chamfer

Advanced Drilling methods put SP Performance Cross Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors above the rest in quality, performance, reliability and appearance. The rotors are drilled with an exclusive Sinusoid Curve chamfering which promotes cooling. It also vents moisture and dust while minimizing heat checking and increases both rotor and pad life.

Straight Drilled Hole

Straight Drilled Hole:
 
A high stress and heat build up area forms at the intersection of the rotor and drilled edge.

Countersunk Hole
Countersunk Hole:

Countersinking increases the external surface area of the hole, thus reducing heat, but still contains edges prone to stress and heat build up.

Radius Hole
Radius Hole:

The Radius Chamfer increases the hole cooling area thus reducing heat, but still contains sharp edges.


SP Sinusoidal Curved Chamferd Hole
SP Performance Sinusoidal Curved Chamfered Hole:
 
Absolutely no sharp edges. The smooth design promotes cooling and minimizes stress, reducing the possibility of heat checking while increasing both rotor and pad life.
